Ingredients

– 8 ounces elbow macaroni
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 2 cups whole milk
– 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons truffle oil
– Salt and pepper to taste
– ¼ cup breadcrumbs (for topping)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Truffle Mac and Cheese is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook until al dente, following package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Make the Roux: In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until it forms a paste.
3. Add Milk: Gradually whisk in the whole milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
4. Incorporate Cheeses: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheddar, Gruyère, and Parmesan cheeses. Mix until the cheeses are fully melted and the sauce is smooth.
5. Season: Add the truffle oil, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning based on your preference.
6. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring until the pasta is evenly coated.
7. Prepare for Baking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Transfer the mac and cheese mixture to a greased baking dish.
8. Add Topping: Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the mac and cheese.
9. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
10. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch.
